Top 5 books by Victoria Chalysheva

Books that inspire and help to understand the intricacies of medical practice

1. "Notes of a Young Doctor" by M. Bulgakov

This book very clearly conveys the emotions of a novice doctor, doubts, fears and worries about the first patients in his practice. Bulgakov very correctly conveys the image of a young surgeon who, without the support of mentors, takes responsibility for the lives of patients, relying only on his skills and knowledge.

2. "Doctor Zhivago" by Boris Pasternak

A work of fiction, it deeply explores the themes of medicine and human relationships against the backdrop of historical events.

3. "Monday Begins on Saturday" by the Strugatsky brothers

The book is good because it is a fantastic humorous work with a very interesting and slightly confusing plot from the Soviet brothers-writers.

4. "Quiet Flows the Don" by Mikhail Sholokhov

I think this work is very good, because it tells about the difficulties of life during difficult times for the country and how the main characters tried to cope with them.

5. "Life as Told by Herself" by Faina Ranevskaya

Not only is Ranevskaya's fate described, but the life of the theatre during the civil war, the productions of directors and their views on the training and work of actors of that time are revealed in great depth.
